Solution

This article describes where and when to activate Disable PS passthrough or Generate PostScript in the driver. These settings perform identical functions, which is to disallow preprocessed data to passthrough the driver and to force the driver to process the print data.

NOTE: The absence of Page Setup may require that you select File > Print Setup or Print and then Properties. If so, this indicates that your printer's finishing options are being controlled by the print driver rather than the application.

It works around the inherent functionality by telling the driver to stop passing preprocessed print data

It reprocesses the print data using Lexmark's own PostScript interpreters

It appends the proper commands, such as Tray Selection and Duplex, to the print data

It ss not available with Microsoft's System PS drivers

It is not available with Apple's Laser Writer 8 driver used in conjunction with Lexmark's PPD
